Urbano Cairo vs Meloni-Salvini: “It seems that the government wants to destroy football”
“It almost seems like there is a desire on the part of the government to destroy football. Incredible.” Turin president Urbano Cairo said this as he left the FIGC headquarters after the meeting on the topic of reforms between Serie A and the number one of the Football Federation, president Gabriele Gravina.
Urbano Cairo: “Did you see what happened with the growth decree?”
“The state doesn't give the slightest help because you saw what happened with the growth decree, which was also an advantage for the government. By removing the growth decree, football is penalized without benefiting anyone”, the words of the Granata patron.
Urbano Cairo vs the government: betting and stadiums theme
“Then there is the issue of betting which is worth sixteen billion euros and from which we do not take a cent Finally the stadiums: there are teams that want to do them but can't do it,” added Cairo. “Why do they want to destroy football, which is an important industry which employs and gives work to so many people who pay one billion three hundred million in taxes, but what reason is there…”, he said again.
“Football hasn't had a cent of help from the state. It had enormous problems, so much so that losses increased exponentially. Today we sang and played it – he said referring to the meeting – but then you have to come out of here with a precise plan to restructure football, to reform football and there must be help from all the components.”
